Charlene Vickers is an Anishinaabe artist based in Vancouver working in painting, drawing, sculpture, assemblage and performance. Vickers’s works manifest ancestral connections, cultural reclamations and her territorial presence as Anishinaabe Kwe while responding formally to the Coast Salish land she has resided upon for the past thirty years. She holds undergraduate degrees from Emily Carr University of Art and Design (Studio) and Simon Fraser University (BA, Critical Studies), as well an MFA from the School for Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University. Recent exhibitions include Indian Theatre (CCS BARD Hessel Museum, 2023), Reverberations: Contemporary Art and Modern Classics (Seattle Art Museum, 2023), Good Foot Forward (Art Toronto, 2023), Big Blue Smudge (USask, 2022), Ancestral Gesture (CAG, 2021), Rain Shadow (Nanaimo Art Gallery, 2021) and Where Do We Go From Here? (Vancouver Art Gallery, 2020).
